Tyranids Question

[Loranus]

So if I started a Tyranids  Army I wouldn't get punished right away for it. Good to know.

*Shrug* those are the rumors from a couple of months ago (which were on Faeit 212) and the ones I posted are the most current rumors on Faeit 212.

Current is not synonymous is "accurate". Faeit reposts stuff from Warseer, yes they are from a few months ago but GW makes its business decisions on what to release, a good 18 months in advance.

Rumor is not synonymous with "fact".  Since GW does not come out and say exactly what is coming out when, everything is suspect until it actually happens.

Well I guess what I'm saying is that my source is better

To get some-what off topic, Codexes bring Lore updates(on occasion) as well as rule updates. So the new Tyranid Codex will hopefuly reveal the full size of the approching Tyranid Hive fleet ( Fleet Leviathan, Dagon, Behemoth, Kraken, and Gorgon were just the scouting parties for this "Super Hive Fleet" which, according to lore, will arrive at the Imperium's border in less than a century) and just show how absolutely screwed all of the other factions are.

The relevence of this being some possible +1s for our "Cuddly" Trans-Galactic tourists in the new Codex.

You do realize the 13th Black Crusade campaign took place during 3rd edition and takes places in 999.M41(40,999); the last year of the 40th century.  The plot has not advanced forward in the past decade; but has it has filled in more things that happened in the past.

well, that would explain why the Imperium was on the verge of either annihilation or fantisic glory when i joined. (because i thought i was just very lucky to be in on one of the major plot points)

They usually give a couple. The big one I think is that the Golden Throne is failing and the Mechanicus can't fix it. That and Catgirls are Cannon in the 40k Universe.

Page 404-405 Appendix under Abhumans they are called Felinids. Squats get mentioned back into Canon also somewhere I believe.

ehhh... may i ask how long have they been Canon?
(They make Catgirls Canon before the Alfa Legion?!?!
What Heresy is this?!?!)
(its cool to have Squats back)

[Loranus]

Abhumans have been Canon for a While. I think 6th was the first time they gave Clarification and specification.
